perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[David Szydloski <>]

Hello,

I posted this a little earlier but I wanted to try again:

I'm running perfsonar-toolkit on the following:

OpenStack Nova VM running Ubuntu 16.04

Kernel: 4.4.0-104-generic

perfSONAR version: 4.0.2.1-2~bpo70+1

Toolkit version: same

Here are the errors I'm seeing in /var/log/esmond/django.log

ConnectionException: "System Manager can't connect to Cassandra at localhost:9160 - Could not connect to localhost:9160"
2018-01-07 21:25:33,872 [ERROR] /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py: Internal Server Error: /esmond/perfsonar/archive/6cc08a4f976e4041b6fc078c04db3ae4/

ConnectionException: "System Manager can't connect to Cassandra at localhost:9160 - Could not connect to localhost:9160"

I've restarted the cassandra service a few times, yet I don't see the expected port open on localhost. Meanwhile, the cassandra status is showing as being fine. 

There is nothing in /var/log/cassandra at all so that's no help. 

I've seen other suggestions in this mailing list to reinstall esmond (which I've tried since I'm using an Ubuntu system I can't do a simple yum reinstall)

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.
